U S Government Accountability Office (G, U.S. Government Accountability Office

Pursuant to a congressional request, GAO examined the General
Services Administration's (GSA) fiscal year (FY) 1985 financial
statements, specifically its internal accounting controls system.
GAO found that GSA failed to: (1) fully support its general ledger
balances with detailed subsidiary records and quickly resolve any
discrepancies; (2) ensure prompt billing of customers for automatic
data processing services; (3) adequately control the process of
recording unbilled accounts receivable and related revenue for
services provided through third-party subcontractors; (4) promptly
analyze and adjust discrepancies between its cash balance and the
Department of the Treasury's reported balance; and (5) promptly
reconcile its liability for telephone usage with actual bills
received and paid.
